Patent GB-850383-A (GB)
Abstract: 850,383. Ignition systems. SIEMENSSCHUCKERTWERKE A.G. Jan. 21, 1957 [Jan. 19, 1956], No. 2190/57. Class 7(4). The ignition coil has a core 1 of magnetic material which constitutes a closed magnetic circuit and means are provided to bias the core magnetically in a direction opposite to the direction of its magnetization by the current in the primary winding 3. As shown the magnetic bias is provided by a premagnetizing winding 2 on the core. The premagnetization could be effected by means of a permanent magnet. A choke 5 is provided to limit transient currents in the winding 2 when ignition occurs. It is generally necessary to include a resistor 8 in the circuit of the primary winding 3. The core 1 may be built up of U-shaped or L-shaped laminations. The two yoke portions of the core are preferably twice as wide as the two limbs which they join. In the case of U-shaped laminations it is stated that the width of each lamination is at least twice as great at the base as it is at the limbs. The distributor shaft may be connected to the interrupter shaft either directly or through a step-up gear. It is stated that instead of using a conventional contact interrupter the primary current can be periodically interrupted with the aid of a semi-conductor device. Examples of such an arrangement are given in Specification 789,949. The core may be substantially demagnetized or magnetized in the reverse direction when the interrupter contacts are open. Known magnetically anisotropic materials may be used for the core. The description refers to cold rolled silcon and nickel iron sheet.

Title: Suspension apparatus for vehicle
Inventor: FUJITA HARUYASU
IPC: B60G21/00
Filed: 1985-02-21
Abstract: Telescopic members (241, 242) which are expanded and contracted by means of a fluid pressure controlled by a steering mechanism (20) are integrally connected to suspension springs (141, 142). When a vehicle makes a turn, the body is caused to decline toward the turning center side due to the telescopic movement of the telescopic members according to the steering operation. The fluid pressure may be fed from a hydraulic cylinder (26) including a piston (27) associated for movement with the steering mechanism. Alternatively, fluid pressurized by a pump may be fed through a controlling valve which is actuated in response to the steering mechanism. At a time when the vehicle makes a turn, a satisfactory steering sense similar to a motorcycle can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and mould for a cap with a tamper-evident band
Inventor: DUDZIK HENRYK
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1985-11-29
Abstract: The cap made in the mould of the invention comprises a skirt (14) attached to a band (20) by frangible lugs (30). The band has angularly spaced inward projections (21) for engaging over a bead on a container. The cap can only be removed from the container by breaking the lugs leaving the band on the container. The top faces of the projections (21) which engage the bead are perpendicular to the axis of the cap to provide secure captivation. This is produced by moulding each projection between a mould core (40) and a slidable mould part (60). The part (60) has a boss (61) defining a face (62) perpendicular to the cap axis for forming the top face of the projection. The end face (63) of the boss is tapered outwardly from the perpendicular face (62) and contacts a complementary face (43) of the mould. The lugs are formed between the bosses. Each projection (21) slides up the corresponding complementary face (43) as the stripper (70) strips the cap off the core, thereby preventing damage to the top face of the projection. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical communication system
Inventor: WADE CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY
IPC: H04L27/14
Filed: 1986-03-11
Abstract: A duplex communication system comprises a transmitter (OT) for deriving from a frequency modulated electrical carrier signal a corresponding optical signal for transmission over a bi-directional optical fibre communication path (BX) and a receiver (OR) for providing from a received frequency modulated optical signal a corresponding electrical signal. An optical directional coupler (DOC) is provided through which the optical signal from the transmitter (OT) is arranged to be fed to the bi-directional path (BX) and through which the received optical signal is arranged to be fed to the receiver (OR). Mixer means (MX1 and MX2) are arranged to be fed with the transmitted and received optical signals including the cross-talk components and the outputs from the mixer means are fed through filters (L1 and L2) to a demodulator (DEM) and a substractor (SU) in which a sample of the modulation carried by the transmitted signal is arranged to be subtracted from the demodulated received signal whereby unwanted feedback of the transmitted signal via the directional coupler (DOC) and electrically-induced cross-talk signals are substantially cancelled.

Title: Nickel-base superalloys for producing single crystal articles having improved tolerance to low angle grain boundaries
Inventor: ROSS EARL WARREN
IPC: C22C19/05
Filed: 1986-03-27
Abstract: Nickel-base superalloys are provided which produce single crystal articles having improved tolerance to low angle grain boundaries and an improved balance between cyclic oxidation and hot corrosion resistance. The improved tolerance arises from the discovery that nickel-base superalloys suitable for casting as single crystal articles can be improved by the addition of small, but controlled, amounts of boron and carbon, and optionally hafnium, and is manifested principally by improved grain boundary strength. As one result of this increased grain boundary strength, grain boundary mismatches far greater than the 6 DEG  limit for prior art single crystal superalloys can be tolerated in single crystal articles made from the nickel-base superalloys of this invention. These alloys are especially useful when directionally solidified as hot-section components of aircraft gas turbine engines, particularly rotating blades and stationary vanes.

IPC: F16F15/16
Filed: 1987-07-06
Abstract: Apparatus for damping torsional vibrations in the power train of a motor vehicle has a first flywheel which defines an annular chamber for a supply of viscous fluid medium and carries one sealing device of a composite seal for separation of the chamber from the atmosphere. A second flywheel carries an antifriction bearing and the second sealing device of the composite seal. The first flywheel and the first sealing device form component parts of a first subassembly. The second flywheel, the second sealing device and the bearing form parts of a second subassembly. The two subassemblies are connected to each other in that the inner race of the bearing is slipped onto a cylindrical seat on an axial protuberance of the first flywheel and is retained on the protuberance of a ring which is affixed to the protuberance and overlies the inner race of the bearing. A torque-transmitting coupling between the second flywheel and the flange-like output member of a single damper or of two parallel-connected dampers in the chamber becomes operative in automatic response to attachment of the two subassemblies to each other.

Title: Wall coupling
Inventor: WILLIAMS DAVID ARTHUR
IPC: B65D55/16
Filed: 1988-07-29
Abstract: A wall coupling restrains adjacent walls 2 and 3 from displacement over each other. The two walls have co-incident apertures 12 and 16. A flexible moulded plastics retaining strip 5 is carried by the wall 2 on its side remote from the wall 3. The strip 5 overlies the aperture 12 and has an end 8 which is secured relative to the wall 2 and an end 7 which is slidable along tracks on the wall 2 in a direction towards and from the end 8. A mid-length region 6 of the strip 5 between its ends 7 and 8 has integral hinges 13 to 15 so that during displacement of the strip end 7 towards the end 8, the region 6 doubles to project through the apertures 12 and 16 and thereby couple the walls 2 and 3 to restrain them from relative displacement.   Stop/catch means can be provided to temporarily retain the strip end 7 in a position where the mid-length region 6 of the strip is in either a folded or an unfolded condition. The invention is suitable for coupling a container lid which carries the retaining strip 5 to a wall of a container body.
